Anyone know if KOTOR on steam is capable of widescreen or do you still have to change one of the files?

You do, and it's not straightforward :

edit - removed, it requires the use of a no-cd hack.

That's just what they want you to think

If third parties can get them working on Vista, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be the case for 7.

I'm hoping GOG can make a deal with Lucasarts to sell them, they actually bother making compatibility changes unlike Valve...

Fair enough, I was just curious. Havent played those games in yeeeears. And no longer have a Joystick which made them all the more fun

I still have an old MS Sidewinder with throttle that I bought for XvT, still going ten years later

I purchased this a while ago last time it was on offer, I played through from start to finish with a 360 controller and didn't experience a single bug or glitch.

Runs horrible on 64bit win 7.

Runs perfect on 64bit win 7.

Also controls are good with x360 controller, no bugs at all. Game itself seems fun, even if it is worse then Jedi Knight, being only a hack and slash. But for 5 pounds, great buy.

I bought tfu at full price on the PS3 and enjoyed it, bought it for PC for a fiver in the summer sale as it comes bundled with the 2 (3?) DLC packs that were being sold on PSN for some outrageous amount. Its well worth a fiver, however on the last level there are some documented issues with music not playing. Id also suggest getting a 360 controller, I cant imagine playing this with a mouse :/

This is well worth £5.

I paid full retail price last year.

PC is the best version by far its 30GB as the game has 18GB HD textures as well as another 7GB HD Movies. Graphically its the best Star Wars game ever made. Sure the gameplay is simplistic but the physics, gfx SW music & sound effects all combine with some awesome levels to produce a great PC gaming experience (if you have a 360 gamepad or similar). Its not as easy with a mouse + kb as designed around the gamepad.

Paul_cz · 14 Sep 2010 at 15:32

Mine was very choppy, definetly wasnt getting a locked 30fps anyway, which id have been quite happy with, looked more like 15-20.

I have 5850 2GB version and it was locked at 30fps solid for me, running at 1920x1200 everything up full, Q6600 @ 3Ghz / 4GB RAM / Win7 x64

The game's capped at 30fps, and with a 4890 and i5 @ stock, that was what I was getting at 1680x1050 all the time without fail.

It's also certainly worth a fiver because I thoroughly enjoyed it even having spent 3 times that amount a month or so ago. Completed it a few times. Can't wait for the sequel.

As usual, no sign of the X-Wing series....

I still have an ISO of Tie Fighter

awesome game that was.

And today's special was too good to pass on - £1.75 for KOTOR !!!!!!

Ragex · 14 Sep 2010 at 21:10

Was going to get KOTOR but thought I'd pass and just get Mass Effect sometime, apparently it's much better. Although, getting Battlefront II as soon as it's released for the day deal

Overslop · 14 Sep 2010 at 21:11

At £1.75 you'd be mad to pass up on KOTOR.

It's easily one of the best RPGs of all time IMO.
